I contacted Ruth for a potential virtual lactation course. She mentioned she had never done a virtual class before but was willing to give it a go and asked me to be patient with her (she was totally fine!). I am a Registered Nurse and wanted to take a lactation class but due to my work schedule, I wasn’t able to travel to her location. She is very professional and she did great with the virtual aspect! I learned so much from her! Her extensive amount of experience shines through with her various examples she can provide while teaching. I throughly enjoyed her class! She was very accommodating and I really appreciated her giving the virtual training a try! I would highly recommend Ruth’s class. She is very talented with teaching, kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and full of experience!

Women Honoring Women’s owner, Ruth Kraft, is the first person I point expectant moms to when they begin to explore their options for childbirth. She has a deep knowledge of the various childbirth choices available today and is just as capable discussing hypnobirthing and natural birth methods as she is outlining the options available for medication based pain management in labor. With a deep respect for women, and their right to make an informed choice when it comes to how and where they labor, Ruth brings a wealth of experience to her role as childbirth educator, doula and lactation consultant. After many years of birth experience she still sees the wonder of each birth and can capture those moments beautifully through her gift for photography. If you are just wanting to explore your options, take classes or are ready to hire a doula then Ruth is a wonderful choice to support you during the exciting days ahead as you prepare for the birth of your child.

I recommend an educated Doula to all of the expectant couples I teach. Your Doula will educate you ahead of time, assist you though your labor, and introduce you to your new baby. Ruth Kraft is the one you want! Margie Forrest, RN, BSN, IBCLC, RLC
